Kelsea Ballerini Channeled ‘Classic Glam’ for the ACM Awards

I love starting award shows with a slow morning and a good cup of coffee before the chaos.

I’m definitely a heel girl on stage, but every now and again, a performance calls for getting back to your roots and a good pair of boots.

My favorite part of an award show day is glam time with everyone in the room and good music to get the vibes right.

The performance look was a cross between the “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat” short film and entering into the “Stick Season.” A little glitter, a little flannel.

We wanted to go with a classic glam look to let the Jonathan Simkhai dress be the star of the show. Also, I did sing, “You’re so vain,” in my head all night… if you know, you know.

Feeling grateful to be nominated and performing but mostly just happy to be here.
